Naturally Derived Porous Hydroxyapatite/ Polymer Biocomposite of Cuttlebone and Eggshell for Dental and Orthopedic Applications
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Hydroxyapatite [HAp, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2], a well-known mineral component and chemically similar to inorganic constituent of bone and teeth, possess good osteoconduction and osseointegration properties. Bio inspired lightweight materials such as cuttlebone and eggshell are rich in CaCO3. Since they possess good permeability, porosity and compressive strength much interest are shown in orthodontics and orthopedic applications. Several attempts had been made to synthesize HAp from cuttlebone and eggshell. The aim of the study is to synthesize a biocomposite materials with a blend of cuttlebone and eggshell HAp by a simple wet chemical method. The newly formed composite showed a good crystalline nature. The presence of calcium phosphate in HAp is confirmed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. Mold prepared by solvent/solution casting method showed appreciable compressive strength and porosity (80-85%). Further, invitro biocompatibility studies were done with MG-63 osteoblast cells.
